You're absolutely right Dwight. ADSM Developement really need to address
this quickly otherwise they're going to be left behind!
They especially need to get going with Fibre Channel development.
Although Fibre Channel standards have yet to be set, IBM appears to be
showing little interest and is instead pushing SSA which essentially noone
else is interested in except IBM ofcourse. I'm not demeaning SSA - it is in
a lot of respects superior to Fibre , but the market appears to believe
otherwise.

Have you been to an IBM storage presentation lately ? ? ?
'bout 6 months ago I brought up such topics...
Answers were... "it is in the works..."
This is where adsm investments will pay off in the future and
be
functional through continued business growth, with the big SAN
push,
the adsm server will be integrated into the SAN server and
basically
the backups/archives & restores/retrieves will actually never
hit the
network.
When this will happen? ? ? ?
later,
Dwight

Consider the following setup
An RS/6000 as the ADSM server connected via ultra scsi to a tape
library
like 3575. A couple of NT and Sun servers connected to the same
library
via ultra scsi acting as clients to the RS/6000 ADSM server.
All the systems are also part of a LAN
How would you ensure that tthe data path is not along the LAN but
along
the ultra scsi attachment. I dont think we can use the sharedmem
option
in this case because the server and the client are not on the same
node.
If we use tcpip, the data will go along the LAN. In short how can
adsm
integrate in a true SAN environment.
Am i correct in these assumptions or am i missing something.
Thanks in advance.
